Default Okay -- What the &%$# is this in the under-dash ventilation of a '71?

Nobel Laureate here didn't tag the pieces from the under-dash ventilation when I took it all out to fix some electrical stuff, because I have two different diagrams of 2nd-gen layouts and I thought that would cover it. But neither diagram shows this -- it is out of a '71 Formula. Where does it go and does anyone have a diagram that includes it?

Love,

Albert Einstein

It's the floor vent ducting. Attaches to the bottom of the heater core box.

Ah. Or maybe I should say, "Duh." Thanks, Dens.

Interesting. I guess it's not a repro part yet. Is it often brittle and kicked to bits?

This one was pretty pristine, but (1) it's been a SoCal car its whole life, plus I disconnected the heater (and AC) a couple years after I bought it in '92.

Anyway, thanks for the bailout.
